I like Lisps, but I need to choose

Name: Anonymous 2012-11-29 11:34

As the title says. I like Lisps. I've used Lisps and I long to be able to think in Lisp. I already sort of can. I know Scheme (the standard used by Guile R5RS (? not sure)) pretty well. I'm also aware of Common Lisp and Closure and the new Scheme standard, Racket.

I don't think much of Closure to be honest mostly because I hate the JVM. I hate the JVM because I'm poor and need to work with lean hardware most of the time.

I know Common Lisp has the most support which is important because Scheme is pretty damn barebones.

I however like the fully functional style, no bullshit approach of Scheme.

-----------------

Honestly my gut feeling is to just go with Common Lisp because having an unsupported platform is pretty much useless. However I'm not very well acquainted with Racket. Does it have much support yet?

No, JavaScript is not Lisp and no it isn't funny. Go do something productive instead of trolling.

I suppose you could just adjust CL to fit your own programming style. Perhaps even write your own language on top of CL.

Have you considered Symta? It's Abelson Good.

Sure, Symta is Abelson good, but is it Sussman good?

I use Racket and I like it. It has a very well documented standard library, and development is very fast paced and meaningful. PLT allows for easy package distribution, which was a proble I had with CL. Quicklisp is awful and shitty.

It also comes with an IDE which is very cool.

Lisp++ is not so good.

Try using Logo. It is the third throne to satori in the kingdom LISP.

Don't change these.
